Statistical Methods for Mitigating Resource Provisioning Dynamism in Large-Scale Batch-Scheduled Systems

A sensor network is expected to provide effective delivery of its services by taking an appropriate action based on one or more situations that it senses in the environment. However, due to the dynamism of application requirements and user context, it is often required to re-configure services from a sensor network to meet specific application needs. This paper is an attempt to enable dynamic a...

the political and social system involved in the limbo between tradition and modernity of the qajar era caused widespread and quick developments in iranian culture, art, and architecture as well as a challenge between tradition and modernity. relatively numerous palaces built in this era were signs of greatness and distinction-seeking of the qajar kings and aristocrats, who embraced all transfor...

The increasing complexity, heterogeneity and dynamism of networks, systems and applications have made our computational and information infrastructure brittle, unmanageable and insecure. This has necessitated the investigation of an alternate paradigm for system and application design, which is based on strategies used by biological systems to deal with similar challenges of complexity, heterog...

This paper seeks to investigate a new definition for architecture by unifying the three Vitruvian principles of firmitas, utilities, and venustas via a phenomenological approach in the interpretation and analysis of their role in defining architecture. The paper is composed in two main sections. The first section investigates the nature of architecture based on the mentioned principles, where a...

Node cooperation is the basic paradigm for efficient functioning of MANETs (Mobile Ad hoc Networks). A paradigm shift from this trait causes the nodes to misbehave thereby affecting the network performance. Selfishness to conserve own resources, Maliciousness to disrupt the network fabric or Malfunctioning may cause the nodes to misbehave. MANET characteristics like dynamism of topology, shared...
